Admissions

Students enter the Bridge MBA program once a year in fall quarter. The deadline to apply for fall quarter 2015 is July 1, 2015.

Interview with an Albers advisor. Selected candidates will be invited to be interviewed.

Applicants for whom English is a non-native language must demonstrate English proficiency regardless of English language studies, academic history, residence in the United States or an English-speaking country, or immigration status. However, graduate and post baccalaureate applicants who received a baccalaureate degree or higher from Seattle University or a recognized college or university in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, or Australia who remain in a country where English is the primary language for two years will not be required to submit English proficiency test scores.

Application Process

Albers School of Business and Economics Bridge MBA applicants are accepted into the program on the basis of their entire history (GPA, GMAT score, essay, interview, and TOEFL scores, if required), considering each factor individually, and in combination, as part of the admissions process. When your application is entered into our computer system, a letter is sent indicating what is needed to complete your application file. Completed applications generally take three to four weeks to be evaluated and reviewed by the department. An admissions decision is issued via mail soon after that. Check your application status on the Graduate Admissions website.

Applicants admitted to Seattle University will receive information regarding course registration at orientation.
